This show continues to improve each year. Each of the cast members are top notch, including those in supporting roles, but it is Jerome Flynn who truly shines. Set up to be a tragic figure on whose shoulders must reside the weight of each of the several worlds he has to juggle between Whitechapel and his social life. He is a classic Shakespearean angst-ridden hero. The only of the three male leads that can always be counted on, even if doing what needs to be done is to his own detriment. Jerome Flynn seems to have fun in Game of Thrones. In Ripper Street, he is Prometheus unbound.
The other true notable among this ensemble cast is MyAnna Buring, who plays the character Susan. Once a daughter of privilege, her fortunes rise and fall like the sea. And Buring's face shows every triumph and tragedy as they pass. Being a true ensemble, it would be hard to nominate any of the cast as a lead actor, but Flynn and Buring deserve supporting nods.
Streaming now on Amazon Prime, this is a show you do not want to let go by.
